Hi,

Gotta face the fact...  When the supermarket fruit and veggie manager has  
a box of fruit he has to move, that is not ripe, he will just inject the  
box with ethylene gas and overnight the magic stickers will indicate  
"ripe".  Could it be any easier?

If there is a way to cheat, it will be found, and the sticker will just  
become another meaningless nuisance.

Tom
